LANMEN Mr. E. -Potarno, of: the - Richmond Examiner, iliiiNiaii - Captured on a blockade runner, and has recently returned to Rich mond on rstrole, communicates to that paper Ids impressions of the demotratic party at the North. He was at large, en parole, during • most of his stay , on this side( Of the line, and badireadataccout . so with the democratic, leaders, iking of the puree..^ if the rg of t .6 1 purposes of to lit'CLELLeer democracy hemp : No doubt can rest in history that at the time of the Chicago Cenvehtion the Demo cratic party in the North had prepared a se cret programml of operations, the final and Inevitable conclusion of which was tlulac knowledgment of the Sontliim Confeder acy. It was proposed to get to this conclu sion by distinct and successive steps, so as not, to alarm too much of the Union senti ment of the country. The first was to be thc proposition of the Union as in a colleen 'lien of States. If that was voted. down, -then the propositAoh bt' a SieSf prineW of ' , federation, Milted to foreign rotation and to .revenue. If that were rejectetl, then the ..pisaposition of an inter-Confederate Union -*to preserve as far as possible, by an extraor -dinary league, the American prestige; and If all these propositions, intended as succes - give teats of the spirit of the South were to_ fail, then-at , last the independence et the- Confederate-Maim - Made einetwa tees, ;was to be conceded by the Democratic party - softie - , North. When their'etioice could no -.longer hesitate it will be seen from this ~ ..aketelt of the nrogramme that the design of the Democratic party was to 'get the North -on the naked issue or war and separation. 'The plan, as we all latow,',.ntterly failed in lie execution. • Mr. POLLARD thinks very little of MC CLELLAN and the New York World. They belong to what he classes as "War Demo crats" who sympathise with the, South af ter a fathfon. Speaking :01 this class, he says: - 'They affect great virtue on account of their oPpo-ition.,..p. Abraham Lincoln, but are quite ambidexter'upon the issues of peace. All they have, ever. said upon the termination of the-war being nothing more than a whine of hypocri7y, as fmni time to time the military successes of. the Confed eracy hate emorteillt; while- playing their part againstltdViin Lidooln, in- which,. Ali in fact, they tett no higher aim than pull. san office or public plunder. They attempt a PoPulat ealegaltrOn for this,' pretending a virtuous attachment to the Constitutional Union occiisionellythrowirig into their opin. tons alittle spicr of hlackguardism about' the extrethTffirfintlie COnfederacy.' These opinionsansavoll exemplified in that famens sheet, the New York World, and:that nose' of wax, McClellan. We will find the, editor of this paper one ditY emptying his pot 'Of filth on Mr. Lincoln, and the next making a sort of politilifirriende, sail 'atitiarbiglia' account avittrthe vulgar, hilmfilings at the South, and Wirtyle of double entendre 'that shows a wonderful proficiency in blackguard scholarship'. :The life of tide party is equiv ocation.- - . • - This lea-very clever, skillful description. The second, class of "Southern syni pathizeris" he describes as those "who per. slatentir denythe right and policy of se cession, but who feel for 'the people of the' . , Confedericy'when they read of their per- city and, adoring and ;think they have been too:ter:4l9Y :pilinisheit for their error. This sympathris purely sentimental and is quite worthless. = It abounds La the parlors of New yorlo - ' , There are numbers of pee pee. in the .

Lion. it is very easy to 'sit on a cushioned chair, with a Nil stornaeli, and sympathize. The South does not want such sentimentat /FM." The third and last clasp is composed, he says, "of those who think that the war is esecntially a clime and an outrage; th.it amelios mien of it-will not do; that it's quits - awn:tell tia - ,t74 inter-est' lit file North. of I 4 ' 1 ' i the South 16 stoplt; that the South repre i setts in ii not only her constitutional rights, I- but tie tifslithiiis past and the whole: cause of American liberty,- and that in tho defeat of the (.2bnfelepile arms must ~go down the libeiiy of the Noith along with the Independence of tho' S'outh.

Th4rorotmd regiet excited by the death of EDWAIID DthRE.TT is unexampled since the-death of Weaninwrow. The sense of national bereavement which followed the decease of JEFFERSON. JACKSON, the ADAMSES, WEnstarn, CLAY and CALEIOUN was akin but not equal to it. Mr. Evnitarr wa., not a participant in the origins , strug fee for national independence; he was not a partisan nor the leader of a party; he has held office but little, •and has not been an actor to any great extent In our great p)litl cal struggles. Hence there is nothing in the universal feelinz of sorrow that arises from political attachment or partisan affec tion. It is a stio - ntsneous tribute to his great wo.tb as a pure statesman, without fear and without reproach—as a scholar who employed his learning and abilities for the common good, ,and. as a patriot who served his country without holding office and withetit the saspicion of base motire. Surely no higharcompliment can be paid to any public man than this. His epitaph is already written on the national heart—he lived a life of exalted usefulness and died universally beloved.
